With respect to the opioid crisis, I saw the numbers as well today showing a 68% increase in the opioid deaths in Ontario, and we know that B.C. was on the front lines of this, and 16 Canadians a day are dying from this. I heard about the amount of money that the federal government is putting forward, the $6.2 million, and then some of the payments that went to the different provinces, but when I compare that with the $500 million that the government is spending to legalize marijuana, it just seems like those two are perhaps not in balance.

Minister, what are the actions being taken in the opioid crisis to prevent the drugs from coming into the country, to prevent the over-prescription of drugs, to make sure our first responders are well protected, and to invest in treatment to get people off drugs ultimately?
